Libby and her braces

Libby got her braces on last week. Her front teeth are angeled so far forward that they need to be pulled in more so that when she is 12 they can finish fixing them. Poor kid. I feel bad. I never had braces. :D Here is her before braces and with braces picture. She should have them on for 18 months. Lets hope she does it right and she won't have to have them on for extra time. On Sunday everyone kept commenting on how grown up she looks all of a sudden, I think the braces made her look older.

She started clapping yesterday!

She is so proud of herself. Of course we all love it too!

Minnie Mouse Ears

I saw a cool new way to do a french braid yesterday and tried it out on Libby's hair. I think I did it too wide so I figured I just need to practice. So I was going to try to do two on Sidney, she was asking for me to do it. I got her hair
parted and she was done. So I hurried and put it in pig tails but left them in the "buns". She
said it looked like Minnie Mouse Ears! She looks so cute with her hair done. I need to do that
more often.

MJ 8 Months Old

MJ is now 8 months old. She can mostly crawl. She can sit. She can feed herself finger food.  She "talks", mostly screeching.  She has learned how to laugh.  She still loves to gets peoples attention just so she can smile at them.  She has three teeth.  They basically came in one a day for three days.  And I was right, the first was wasn't one of the front teeth it was the  . . .  typing . . . searching. . . finding . . . the lateral incisor on her left side.  She gets really excited when she knows we are making her food.  She is a fairly clean eater except when she is feeding herself.  With our other kids it felt like we were always scraping food off of their faces as we fed them.  With MJ that isn't the case so much.  She is still a mostly happy baby, YAY!

Can you see the three little teeth there on the bottom?

I just love her big grin in that picture.

Wish List

This book is on my wish list.  I have always been facinated with the Titanic, though I have never seen the movie.  I have read books and seen documentaries.  I love this author and I think it will be one I will enjoy.


I'll review once I read it!

Bobble Head

She is so cute and developing such a happy, fun personality!

MJ's 1st Tooth

MJ got her first tooth yesterday morning.  So thankful for kids who aren't really terrors when teething!  It is probably her front bottom left tooth, but it might be the one next to it.  It seems really far over to be a front tooth.
